The talented young author Kendra E. Ardnek is publishing another book! This time it's Water Princess, Fire Prince, the first to be published of the Rizkaland Legends.

Book Description:When the Lady Dragon does come,Hold fast, do not fear, do not run.Your Water Princess will fight,Fire Prince will set all to right.Each shall come from a Fall,Their union will save you all.

Despite the fact that she's on track for competing in the Olympics, and he's practically raised his younger brothers since they lost their mom in a car accident, Clara Mandras and Andrew Stevenson are pretty much normal teens. They have normal hopes, normal dreams, and they live in a normal world.

All this is torn away from them when they are thrust into another world and declared Water Princess and Fire Prince. With no experience ruling a country, meeting each other for the first time, and being expected to fight the Lady Dragon – an evil sorceress plaguing the world of Rizkaland – Clara and Andrew are underprepared and inexperienced. Unless they learn to work together despite their standing opposition, Rizkaland's hope will be lost.

What is to come will change their lives forever.

Today I'm helping in John Boswell's cover reveal. John is a delightful, very smart little hedgehog who is the pet of author Jack Lewis Baillot. John has decided to venture into the wide world of writing a book and publishing it.

Book blurb:There is a willow that grows by the river and under the willow there lives a family of mice. Nothing exciting ever happens to them, until the day a brother and a sister leave the willow to have an adventure. Sometimes adventures are fun, and sometimes they are scary, but usually they are both.

I've been waiting for this day for months, because today everyone finds out which fairytale has been chosen for Rooglewood Press's next contest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories in Five Glass Slippers and I'm eagerly looking forward to the release of Five Enchanted Roses. Ever since last year I've been wondering and speculating about which fairy tale they'd choose for the third round.

Well, readers, are you ready to find out?

Rooglewood Press is delighted to introduce their third fairy tale novella contest—

Five Magic Spindles

a collection of “Sleeping Beauty” stories

The challenge is to write a retelling of the beloved fairy tale in any genre or setting you like. Make certain your story is recognizably “Sleeping Beauty,” but have fun with it as well. Make it yours!

Rooglewood Press will be selecting five winners to be published in the Five Magic Spindles collection, which will be packaged up with the phenomenal cover you see here. Maybe your name will be one of the five listed?

All the contest rules and information (how to enter, story details, deadline etc.) may be found on the Rooglewood Press website. Just click HERE and you will go right to the page.
